Backlight won't turn off!

62 posts in this topic

Slightly annoying, but it appears that the backlight on my phone won't turn off - unless I lock the phone.

The backlight dims down after the preset time, but no matter how I configure the settings in Home Screen or Power Management it just won't turn off completely. The only way to get the backlight to go off is to lock the phone and then the screen finally goes black.

Anyone got any ideas before I reset the phone and have to set it up again and re-install all my apps?

Simon.

I have the same exact problem. But in my case, even if I lock the phone, backlight STILL STAYS ON.

Well. I'm not running TomTom - yet I'm still having the same problem; the backlight dims down, but never completely turns off, unless I lock the phone.

I did a hard reset last night and then reinstalled my apps. The backlight was working perfectly until I installed my last couple of apps. So, at this point I think it might be down to The Core Pocket Media Player as that was the last app I installed and the backlight is playing up again? ;)

Is anyone else having problems?

I've read at another forum that it was Core Player/TCMCP that is causing this problem.

I have only taken deliver of a new E650 yesterday, I have not installed any software but I have the bug, the backlight does not turn off it just dims. I have tried the registry hack but the value refered to is not present.

I Presume the 30 is refrring to seconds before backlight dims - Using PHM registry editor i didint need to unlock phone to alter the value - after installing core media player the value was set on 4 miliion odd!

I'm getting a slightly different issue, but it could be the same solution.

Current Power settings:

Backlight timeout on Batt - 15 seconds

Display time out on Batt - 1 minute.

Now, it seems that if I lock the devce holding the red key down, it dims and switches the screen off in seconds, which is fine. But if I leave it unlocked, the screen dims in the correct time scale (actually 10 seconds instead of 15 but that's fine) , but it seems the display takes, well, it's getting on for 5 minutes now and it's still only dimmed.

So far i've installed:

Facade,

MS Live Search,

Smart2Go,

Resco Trial Suite

The current value of display in HKCU/CONTROL PANEL/POWER is 4294967295.
